Thompson & Morgan Grape Vitis Pinot Gris Red Plant Pot 10.5cm

Uncover the charm of the Grape 'Pinot Gris', a celebrated vine known for producing crisp white wines akin to Pinot Grigio. Originating in France, where it's known as 'Pinot Grigio' in Italy, this variety presents a captivating mix of blue/grey to bronze/rose-coloured skins with pale green flesh. Its wines can range from a deep golden yellow to copper, and sometimes even display a delicate light pink hue. The Pinot Gris vine is appreciated for its abundant yields of large, tightly packed grapes, making it a popular choice for both wine producers and home gardeners alike. As a slip skin type, the grapes detach easily from their skins, simplifying harvesting and winemaking. Whether grown outdoors in a sunny spot or under cover, this grapevine promises generous harvests and enhances your garden with its large leaves and vibrant autumn colours.
How to Grow: Choose a sunny location, ideally south-facing or against a wall. This hardy vine is well-suited for outdoor growing. Keep the soil consistently moist, particularly when the fruit is developing. Enrich the soil with well-rotted manure or compost before planting, and fertilise each year. Install a sturdy wire framework for the twining stems, and prune to shape and encourage fruit production.
